Hm, this is quite unusual. There was a user who linked a federalist article here that smeared Helen Keller. I posted a comment responding to it, but now both seem to have been removed. I assume the user who posted the article took deleted his comment after viewing mine. But, that seems to have deleted mine as well. Is it true that deleting a comment that has replies also deletes all of the replies to that comment? If so, that is problematic for posterity.
I will put my reply to the user’s comment here again:
Linking a conservative magazine that focuses on only one aspect of the narrative they want to push and leaves out the greater context is generally not appreciated. Hellen Keller had views that were tainted by the prevailing zeitgeist and was in no way perfect, but overall she was an ally for social justice.
Keller became a world-famous speaker and author. She was an advocate for people with disabilities, amid numerous other causes. She traveled to twenty-five different countries giving motivational speeches about Deaf people’s conditions.[44] She was a suffragist, pacifist, radical socialist, birth control supporter, and opponent of Woodrow Wilson. In 1915, she and George A. Kessler founded the Helen Keller International (HKI) organization. This organization is devoted to research in vision, health, and nutrition. In 1916, she sent money to the NAACP, as she was ashamed of the Southern un-Christian treatment of “colored people”.[10]
